The sign of the Ram is graced by the element of Fire, and if you were to use one word to describe Aries, it could easily be heat.

Aries likes to initiate relationships, and the role of seducer comes to them easily. This sizzling romance dance will only work on those strong enough to stay in the game, because Aries wants a partner who can go toe-to-toe with them, whether it's over lunch or under the covers.

Aries likes to get its way and often pits the wishes of self against what is best for the partnership, which can lead to conflict. These battles, though, are often foreplay, which can result in some sexy fireworks of their own. The Ram is possessed of a great physicality, a sense of adventure, is wildly flirtatious and loves to play.

Aries doesn't generally need hearts and flowers to give them a warm and fuzzy glow. What's far more important to members of this sign is to find a partner who is equally strong and self-possessed and who will challenge them to greater heights, both mental and physical. The person who can draw them out and make them better is a keeper. It also helps if Aries' partner can handle the occasional fiery argument and master the art of making up.

Sexual adventurers are also very attractive to the Ram, whether it's acrobatics between the sheets or the art of touching. There's no shortage of libido here! The Aries lover is passionate, adventurous and energetic, loves romance and revels in the art of the chase. Those who can stand the heat will be rewarded with a loyal companion who will take them to greater heights. Life with Aries is never boring, so get ready for the ride of a lifetime.

Aries are fiery, impulsive and hopelessly romantic -- especially at the beginning of a relationship. The good news is that two Aries know how to be happy in the now, instead of living in the past and worrying about the future. The bad news incldude the intensity and competition you'll have with another Aries, combined with your short tempers, can lead to ego clashes and even huge blowouts. It takes two to tango, and with a little patience -- and taking turns leading -- you can smooth out the rough patches and blaze a trail of red-hot passion together. What's the best aspect of the Aries-Aries relationship? That exciting spontaneity that always keeps things new and that's so hard to find with other Signs. Two Aries will never be bored! Their mutual energy and ability to make up after disagreements makes theirs a passionate and compatible relationship.

Aries is rules by fiery Mars and Taurus is ruled by Venus, the love planet. This means that Taurus can be lazy - the one word that isn't in a Aries' vocabulary. Luckily, you'll be able to perk your Taurus up with your endless supply of enthusiasm. One area where Taurus isn't lazy, though, is when it comes to your relationship. While Aries is being hot-headed, impulsive and restless, your Bull will be using that bovine stubborn streak to keep things steady and stable. Don't take your Bull for granted though - Taurus may not get mad often, but when they do, watch out.

A promise of great excitement and entertainment! Both signs are endowed with good cheer and optimism, which makes them perfect pals. Life together is like an ongoing party, highlighted by flashes of imagination and friendship with others. Gemini easily adapts to the demanding Aries character, while Aries finds his or her partner to be an inexhaustible source of strength. The couple lives for the moment, with scarcely a care for tomorrow, but this continual improvisation is not the stuff of which lasting ties are made. Stay tuned for more adventures.

If ever there were two emotional opposites, it's Cancer and Aries. Cancers are deeply caring and highly sensitive. Aries are more playful and light-hearted and may not have the patience for someone who thinks and feels so much. Cancers may cramp an Aries style - they worry about everything. Aries would rather do it now and worry about it later - if at all. This doesn't mean Aries and Cancer can't have a good relationship, though. If Aries can take the time to work through their Cancer partner's feelings, and Cancer can give Aries room to be spontaneous, they might just be happy after all.

This partnership is all about fiery passion, domination and who's on top. Both Signs can be impatient and proud. Leo likes to be adored and their egos boosted, services which the easily-bored Aries may not want to provide. Aries may also be bothered by Leo's flirtatious nature, but this relationship is always exciting. Despite their sometimes loud differences, Aries often looks to Leo as a guide or counsellor. Leo is the Lion and, with Leo, Aries can be the lamb. Consequently, any differences between these two can be overcome. Both Signs are usually respected by others and it's important that this respect exists within the relationship as well.

Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Leo is ruled by the Sun. Both are masculine energy archetypes, and together they make a good combination -- they understand each other because they're coming from the same place. The Sun is about the self and Mars is about aggressive energy, so they're highly compatible and can make a powerful team.

Virtual opposites: The Virgo is a diligent worker, a faithful partner, and a born organizer; sparkling Aries lacks ongoing commitment but has pizzazz. He may sometimes chafe under Virgo's critical gaze. The Ram will dominate the pair, and his or her unpredictability will wreak havoc with Virgo's plans. But Virgo gives backbone to the Ram's impulses, and guides him or her with valuable advice. The alchemy of opposites forges a constructive but continually strained relationship. What's the best aspect of the Aries-Virgo relationship? Their great effectiveness as a team -- business or personal. Their personalities, opposite in so many ways, make for a highly complementary relationship.
